I think this line says it best.

"Installing from a CD might be simpler, but it sure ain't as sexy/geeky."

I actually did something a little differently. If anyone noticed last
night, I had an external hard drive attached to the computer. Rather
than installing openSUSE locally on my laptop, I had actually
installed it onto the external hardrive, including the MBR, and set my
computer to boot from USB before the internal hard drive. I
essentially have a "live installation" that I can plug into any
computer that supports "boot from USB." FYI, I would only do this over
USB 2.0. So if you wanted to try it at home, make sure your USB on
your computer and the external hard drive you use both support USB
2.0.

The hard drive I used is a Western Digital Passport. For computers
that supply it, it uses power over USB, so no external power supply is
necessary.
